Council approves permanent appointment for Officer Brian Pugliese
Summary
The council approved the permanent appointment of Patrol Officer Brian Pugliese after the police chief's recommendation that he completed more than 12 months of satisfactory probationary service and met state certification requirements.
The council accepted the police chief's recommendation to appoint Patrol Officer Brian Pugliese as a permanent member of the Old Tappan Police Department. The chief's letter noted Pugliese was appointed on 05/15/2023, has completed more than 12 months of probationary service, and has been certified by the New Jersey Police Training Commission.
A council member moved and seconded the appointment and the council voted by roll call to approve it. A speaker noted that officers serve a one-year probationary period during which termination may occur without cause, and that permanent appointment carries contractual and tenure implications.
